THURSDAY, DEC. 23rd, 1943 THE NEWS JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C PAGE SEVEN I Stop Gullies And Grow Trees Thousands of acres of land in North Carolina are growing gullies which should be growing trees, repqrts R. W. Graeber, in charge of Extension for estry at State College. Because of steep slopes, poor soil, and other adverse conditions, much of this land can best be ucd for growing trees. Many farmers in the State have demonstrated conclusively that ero sion may be controlled, gullies stop ped, and the land put into production on small areas by using materials found on the average farm, plus trees. Simple methods for the control of gully erosion on small drainage areas, Irom one to ten acres, are described in Extension Circular No. 256 publish ed by State College. A free copy of this publication may be obtained by writing the Agricultural Editor, State College, Raleigh. In planning to stop the gullies and plant the trees, Graebcr suggests that the grower first consult his county agent. Gullies draining more than ten aeres require planning by an experi enced agricultural engineer. The control measures described yi the. circular provide only temporary control, because final control must in all cases be accomplished by vegeta tion. Young trees, usually pine or black locust, planted after the erosion con trol measures have been taken, will become established and provide pro tection from further erosion. -O Home-Made Lime Spreader Built A home-made lime spreader has been designed by the Agricultural En gineering Department at State College which utilizes materials which can be found in almost any Junk yard, re ports David S. Weaver, head of the department. It consits of a hopper with a rotat ing place directly under openings in the bottom of the hopper. The rotat ing plate is driven through the gear ing, which is found in the rear axle of a discarded automobile. Old tires, too wom for any use on a car or truck, may be used in the machine. The spreader, which costs on the average, about half the price of a commercial spreaJer may be used for handling lime and certain fertilizer materials in fertilizing pastures, mca duw strips, and in distributing lime for a wiJc variety of crops. Growers wishing to build a home made spreader should write the Agri cultural Engineering Department. State College, Raleigh, for a free copy of Plan No. 254. T. B. Slade of Hamilton in Martin County has been i.ing one of these spreaders in fertilizing nis lespedeza acreage and is pleased with it. Assis tant County Apcnt L. L. McLendon and H. F. McKnight of the Soil Con servation Service assisted Slade in making the spreader and the neces sary parts were obtained from a local junk dealer. ND she brought forth her first born son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger: because there was no room for them at the inn. Lake 2i7 WE WISH YOU A HAPPY CHRISTMAS MCDONALD'S ESSO STATION Horse And Mule Clinics Planned Fifty-nine counties in North Car olina are planning to hold horse and mule clinics this winter to condition work stock for essential work on the farm under war-time conditions, re ports L. I. Case. Extension animal Husbandman at State College. "It's good horse sense to treat hor ses and mules for worms and bots and Holiday Cheer Ifs about time (or us to wake op and thank our many friends and customer for their valued patronage during 1943. We cannot tea you bow much wc appre ciate your kindness. Ma your Christmas bt very, rery happy. ISRAEL MANN fetmas 1943 HE STAGE COACH has given place to the stream liner. The electric light has snuffed out the soft beamed candle. Tinkling sleigh bells are drowned in the roar of motor horns. But who will say that Christmas has lost its charm? With Christ mas at hand we renew our pledge of devotion to ideals of honest dealing, and express our appre ciation of your friendship for us during 1943. "HEAP ON MORE WOOD, THE WIND IS CHILL; P ,jT LET IT WHISTLE AS IT WILL, WE'LL KEEP OUR MERRY CHRISTMAS STILL!" UPCHURCH MILLING AND STORAGE CO. have the necessary dental work done", siiys Case. "If you have no ticed any lo.-s of weight, unthriftiness or digestive trouble in your work stock lately, ilon't delay having them treated. These troubles are no djubt caused by intonml parasites which so often cause serious damage to bath horses and colts", he added. Case points out that it costs more to feed a wormy animal and that the wormy animal will do much less work than one free of such parasites and in good health. He urges that neighboring farmers caoperate in bringing their work stock to the clinic because the greater the number of animals treated the less will be thy cost per head. He suggests that the animals not be given any feed for at least 12 to 18 hours before treatments are given. Growers should watch for local an nouncements as to when and where the clinics are to be he'd. O Methodist Notes At the eleven o'clock service Sun day morning the Sacrament of the Lord's supper will be administered. We will also speak on the subject, "The Babe of Bethlehem". We should all make this Christmas occa ion worthwhile for our souls. At the 7:30 o'clock service We will speak on the subject of "Our Invento ry". Come and worship with us. W. L Maness, Pastor. O Cltras The peel of oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits contain about 3 times as much vitamin C as the pulp and the juice. Add gratings of the peel to sauces, spreads and desserts. O Poultry Poultrymen are caught between an ever increasing price for mixed feed and fixed ceilings on poultry products, points out Prof. Roy S. Dearatyne of State College.

Not that it's any less important than food, or fuel, or shoes. In fact, electric power ha rightly been called the life-blood of war production. But our government does ask all of us to use electricity wisely. Even though there's no shortage In sight, the making of electricity, requires manpower, fuel, trans porta tion and critical material things on which war has first call today. So, be as careful with electricity as you are with your coupons. Use all you need but need aH you use. pntnm 4 m$k, trj TUmj rrr 1 X ' titt. BPS. CUmUrn c4ustf tftm 1 Carolina POWER & LIGHT Company i
